Camera Distance Modification - Zoom WAY out

[Ughmahedhurtz]

In case others wanna give this a shot, here's what I put at the end of my config.wtf:

SET cameraDistanceD "250"
SET cameraPitchD "65"
SET cameraYawD "0"
SET cameraDistanceC "50"
SET cameraPitchC "45"
SET cameraYawC "0"
SET cameraDistanceB "30"
SET cameraPitchB "30"
SET cameraYawB "0"
SET cameraDistanceA "15"
SET cameraPitchA "30"
SET cameraYawA "0"
SET cameraDistanceMax "250"

The 250 one is for when I wanna be silly.

Necro!

These settings now go in c:\games\wow\WTF\account\<accountname>\<servername >\<charactername>\config-cache.wtf

SET cameraDistanceMax "250"

The 250 one is for when I wanna be silly.

I'm pretty sure that the hard limit on cameraDistanceMax these days is 30.

I'm pretty sure that the hard limit on cameraDistanceMax these days is 30.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Let me rephrase that...

I'm pretty sure that the hard limit via the console command or the config file these days is 30.

This is the first video I made (Dec 2005). I used ImprovedCamera and changed settings while recording to pan the camera.

Tweaking camera's is something i've been putting off but realy should be hitting next.

So how do you guys mold your five views and for what purpose?

Camera1 First person - For flying and swiming, best used along with jamba strobe since you cant see your slaves anymore
Camera2 Up Close - Point Blank Targetable AoE & World items that IWT wont work on ie. mining nodes, wanted posters etc...
Camera3 Slave Aimed Targeted Ground Spells. With slaves 5 to 10 units behind master i have this camera synched to mouse click as close to whatever the master's mouse is hovering over.
Camera4 Master Aimed Targeted Ground Spells. Mastger aims with this window situated so that the top bottom left and right is the farthest i can actually reach with my click based AoE spells.
Camera5 Driver's view deep wide view for master only. Ideal distance so toons following behing can be still seen. right and left border distance is far enough so that i can see toons 30 units away shooting at the mobs. considering im the tank right next to the mobs im taunting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...=MWsOCseUEIc#!

Thanks Ualaa your a God.

Through some testing, 50 appears to be the max distance now (patch 4.3.4).

Camera settings I used:

SET cameraDistanceA "15"
SET cameraPitchA "30"
SET cameraYawA "0"
SET cameraDistanceB "30"
SET cameraPitchB "30"
SET cameraYawB "0"
SET cameraDistanceC "50"
SET cameraPitchC "45"
SET cameraYawC "0"
SET cameraDistanceD "50"
SET cameraPitchD "65"
SET cameraYawD "0"

View 1 (distance 15):


View 2 (distance 30):


View 3 (distance 50):

I dunno... I actually can't get a value over 25 to work for me but, I tried to replicate your View 3 with my hard limit of 25 @ 1680x1050.

The only reason I don't think those hard-coded numbers >25 work is because the difference between 25 and 5 is night and day, which would mean the difference between 25 and 50 should be very noticeable as well. /shrug (SEE THE EDIT BELOW)




EDIT: To follow this up... I also had cameraDistanceMaxFactor set to 2 which would mean cameraDistanceMax 25 x MaxFactor 2 = a total of 50.

And that answers that.
